How do you guys feel about ageing videogame characters?


I'm a bit put off SF6 when I see Ryu, Ken, M.Bison and Sagat in their older form.


Capcom seem to think making characters older means hairy, unshaven, slovenly dressed, beat up and scared and generally looking like hobos.


It feels like an insult to one of my fondest memories, playing SF2 in arcades in the 90s.

That's why I bought all of their classic costumes immediately after purchase. I don't buy DLC, but it was worth it on SF6.

Depends on the game but I prefer classic characters to mostly be timeless.

So this weekend I subscribed to PlayStation plus give myself a chance to test out some games I was looking at. So far I haven't been overly impressed.


I first checked out Returnal. I can't decide the game is either genius or just fucking terrible. Either way, I'm not real good at it, but at the same time I can't tell whether or not that is by design or not. But after 4 hours, I haven't really progressed the story much. So I've decided to write it off. Really happy I tested it, because I have had that in my shopping cart for a while, and it just doesn't seem like it's for me.


I also tried out Dredge. It's supposed to be a Lovecraftian fishing game. The idea is neat, and it's got a lot of elements that should be drawing me in, but it's just not happening. I think it's a little too light on direction. Part of me feels bad because I really haven't given it a fair shake yet, but at the same time I need more out of a game than the town mayor saying, "nobody knows how you got here, but why didn't you go out and catch some fish? Oh and don't go out at night."

Tried the demo, fishing on a grid seems tedious.

Wouldn’t bother me to be honest. Would find it pretty hilarious though playing an Indiana Jones game as an old Indy. LOL

Not saying developers have to age their characters just that I don’t mind if they do.

I wouldn't mind it if there was a vast selection of grandpa complaints I could blurt out whenever I wanted at the press of a button.

How much did that cost? I've been seeing clips of Sagat coming to SF6.

I assume paid for dlc? I had the expectation that all the old faves would just be there day 1.

It would be neat to see a game, say Uncharted, where aging affects the character. Maybe its more difficult to climb or they have less stamina. So the gamer may have to get creative in going from point A to point B.

You can unlock all of the classic costumes for free by playing the open world RPG mode; I didn't like that mode at all, so I bought the costumes. I don't remember how much I paid.
